Along the the warm(er) weather that accompanies most of us into the month of May comes Mark from Cardiff Cocktails with his herb-inspired theme for this month's MxMo, Witches' Garden, as described:

As far back as we can look, the use of fresh herbs have been prevalent
in the world of mixed drinks. From the early days of the julep, through
Williams Terrington’s 19th century Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks,
to Don the Beachcomber’s ahead of their time Tiki drinks, fresh herbs
have always been at the forefront of mixology. So lets take influence
from the bartenders that once ruled the world of mixology, raid your
herb garden that too often gets neglected, and start mixing. I don’t
want to put too many limits on this theme so get as creative as you
please, want to use roots, spices or beans as well? Sure thing. Want to
make your own herbal infusions or tinctures? Sounds wonderful.
